SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology Natural Convection in Superposed Fluid-Porous Layers - Aniruddha Bagchi Francis A Kulacki Kartoniert (TB)

Natural Convection in Composite Fluid-Porous Domains provides a timely overview of the current state of understanding on the phenomenon of convection in composite fluid-porous layers. Natural convection in horizontal fluid-porous layers has received renewed attention because of engineering problems such as post-accident cooling of nuclear reactors contaminant transport in groundwater and convection in fibrous insulation systems. Because applications of the problem span many scientific domains the book serves as a valuable resource for a wide audience.
